<p>Same with Pomona’s deferral letter. Very small and short, very anti-climatic. I had been waiting for MONTHS for a reply, and when I got it, I was like “this is it?!” Lol, they were like “You’ll find out in early April YOU FOOL!!” Well not really, but it’d sure be funny if they said that.</p>
<p>Yemaya, that is so awesome! I would love it if a college I got accepted to sent me a rose. That is just so…I don’t want to say romantic, but classy?</p>
<p>Lewis & Clark, for anyone interested, sends an email about the Early Action acceptance. I haven’t received the package, but it was very exciting. The message was titled “Welcome to Lewis & Clark!” and it talked about how my package was on the way, but they wanted to congragulate me, etc etc. And then they give you a password for a section of their website dedicated to meeting the other accepted students/staff/etc. It was spiffy. :)</p>
<p>i agree… this thread amuses me. On Friday, I found out that i was accepted to Tufts!.. but it was online so I can’t wait till I get the whole big package in the mail!</p>
<p>the acceptance seemed pretty generic online… PM me if you wanna see it</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Esp for those early ones still waiting to hear back this week!</p>
<p>Tulsa’s acceptance letter was fairly generic, but WONDERFUL just the same. I don’t think it really matters what they write, as long as the point is that they’ve decided to accept you… Came in a pretty, dark blue folder. Oh, I can’t believe how great if feels to get an acceptance! :):) (Hoping for many more to come!)</p>
<p>I posted in here earlier about the binder/pen/free tee-shirt I got from Ripon College. Since then I received a handwritten letter from an alumna welcoming to the Ripon family, a $12,500/year scholarship offer and a phone call from an admissions lady to touch base and chat. Today I received a holiday card signed by all the members of their office staff.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I can’t go to Ripon. I was so stupid and didn’t check their housinig policy before applying - all undergraduates must live on campus. Due to various personal reasons I can’t do that. But I can feel the personal touch already and I’m heartbroken I can’t go!</p>
<p>Please, people, apply to Ripon. They are so nice and personal.</p>
<p>How’s this: I was walking in to school to take a final when I was greeted with a picture of my top choice school on the front of a Christmas card. It was opened, and I was shown the handwritten message from the admissions counselor, and eagerly asked about mine. Umm, didn’t get one. Later on, I was near that same person when she asked others who had applied about their Christmas cards, and they all happily talked about it. Right as I was getting ready to walk into a final.</p>
<p>Bucknell has by far the worst rejection letter!!! It actually made me feel like I was dumb. It said something along the lines of “We hope that you find a school that fits your specific needs.” What like a special ed. program?! I’m applying to Bucknell not a Community College.</p>
<p>Dear(this is just courtesy butwe don’t really mean it) applicant, </p>
<p>This is your REJECTION letter, that you clearly deserve of course. </p>
<p>The admissions committee was simply astonished. They never thought they would receive an application so mediocre, to say the least. Your application fee was the only thing that made the committee feel like they were not wasting their time. </p>
<p>Good Luck (going NOWHERE)</p>
<p>Your magnificent Dean of Admissions
Clark Darejector
Extremely Prestigious University (that doesn’t want you)</p>
<p>P.S. We hope you life does not end in faillure</p>
<p>After the admissions committee finished reviewing your application, we thought you were an academic god. You are the best student we have ever seen in the history of the univerity (and this university is very old!)</p>
<p>We would be honored if you decided to attend this University. We even thought we could even make you part of our faculty. </p>
<p>Congratulations again!</p>
<p>Your friend,</p>
<p>Dean of Admissions
Johnny Hardvard Princenton Stanford
The best University in the World</p>
<p>University of Washington sends a big envelope, with “Congragulations” written on it. Inside was a purple folder with the letter of congragulations, along with all the other info.</p>
<p>Wellesley posts its Early Evaluation results online, and its “likely” letter online (which is like an unoffical acceptance, I’ve been told) was very flattering and awesome:</p>
<p>"Dear __________,</p>
<p>Congragulations! The Board of Admission has reviewed your application under the Early Evaluation Plan and has determined that you are in the top group of applicants. You are likely to be admitted to Wellesley College in March. The Board’s confidence and enthusiasm about your candidacy are reflected in this early assessment of your application…"</p>
<p>And it goes on. What an ego boost! I’m so excited.</p>
<p>Williams has a great acceptance package: you get a big purple folder that literally says on the front of it
“Likelihood that this big purple folder means what you think it does: 100%”
And a car sticker inside. And the note was handsigned/fairly personalized, and came with a course catalogue bookmarked for your academic/EC interests.</p>
<p>NYU’s was cruel lol
I got home, turned on my kitchen light, and there on the table was a small envelope with NYU on it.<br>
My heart dropped!!!
Then i picked it up in my trembling hands (are you liking the melodrama?) and saw that in miniscule print on the bottom was the miraculous word ‘Congratulations!’
Stupid tricky adcoms with their deceptive admit letters. Trying to give poor innocent kids a heart attack! Hey, but I’m in!!! :)</p>
Well not really, but it’d sure be funny if they said that.</p>
Came in a pretty, dark blue folder. Oh, I can’t believe how great if feels to get an acceptance! :):)
